Groundwork vs. the field

Same job. Fewer logins, less lock-in.

Procore, Buildertrend, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Fieldwire, and CoConstruct are all good software. They're also cloud-only, mostly priced with no public number, and built around a data model you can only access through their APIs and export tools. Here's the honest, side-by-side comparison.

Comparison reflects Groundwork's understanding of publicly available information about each competitor as of 2026 and is provided for general orientation, not a guarantee of current competitor feature sets. Verify specifics with each vendor directly. "Partial" means the capability exists but is limited, an add-on, or does not match Groundwork's depth in that area. Procore's pricing model (a percentage of Annual Construction Volume, quoted only after a sales conversation) is publicly documented on their own pricing page; other competitor pricing rows reflect third-party reporting or their own published pricing pages where available (Fieldwire publishes tiered pricing directly).

Where each competitor is genuinely stronger

Procore

Much larger integration marketplace and a mature, field-tested mobile app. An easy default when a GC you sub to already mandates it on a project.

Buildertrend

Longer track record with residential and light-commercial builders specifically. The 2021 CoConstruct merger has been bumpy for some customers, but the core product has real history in that segment.

Autodesk Construction Cloud

Genuinely deep BIM and model-coordination workflows, especially if you're already in the Autodesk ecosystem (Revit, BIM 360 heritage). Best-in-class for that specific use case.

Fieldwire

The one competitor here with real published, tiered pricing, which is worth respecting. Field-first plan markup and task tracking are its strength; it's a narrower tool than a full ERP by design, not by accident.

CoConstruct

Historically strong for custom home builders specifically, though it's now folded into Buildertrend post-2021 merger rather than sold as a standalone product.

If any of that is what you need most, they're not a bad choice. We'd rather you know that going in than convince you otherwise.

Every feature, compared

The full feature-by-feature comparison

73 individual features across 13 categories: not module names, the actual capability, checked one at a time against each competitor's own public documentation. "Unverified" means we found no public evidence either way, not a claim that a competitor lacks it. Read the note on any row for the reasoning and the source.

Full = broadly equivalent or better, publicly documented. Partial = present but narrower in scope or depth than described. Not found = no evidence of this capability in the competitor's public documentation as of 2026. Unverified = we could not find enough public documentation to make a real call. Treat these as open questions, not confirmed gaps. Researched against each competitor's own product pages and help documentation, with third-party review corroboration noted inline where used. This will drift out of date as every product here ships new features. If you find something wrong, tell us and we'll correct it.

The complete module-by-module comparison

The feature-by-feature table above covers our most important capabilities in real depth. This section is the rest of the catalog: all 255+ real modules, grouped into 19 categories, so nothing is left out of the comparison, just assessed at the category level here rather than one-by-one, with a real, specific reason given for every rating.

Full = broadly comparable or better. Partial = present but narrower in scope or depth. None = not part of that competitor's public product as far as we could verify. This table will drift out of date as every product in it ships new features. If you see something wrong, tell us and we'll correct it.
